“The phone is screaming at me.”
Stop!
“Don’t pick up the phone.”
Ignore it.
The call isn’t for you.
You don’t deserve it.
They call you to rip you apart.”
Wea
They think you're weak.
Prove them wrong be strong
“Stay strong.”
“You have so many people cheering for you.”
Important.
“You are important.”
I promise.
“Don’t let them in your head.“
“I know it’s too late.”
“They have already made a home in your mind.”
They rip you to shreds.
Let me in.
Ring Ring.
“Its me calling I'm here for you”
have always been here.
“Don’t leave.”
“They aren’t worth your pain and sorrow.”
You mean so much
“Stay strong.
Keep moving.
You are worth it.“
Ring Ring
“It’s you.”                
At three in the morning.    
“I am here”
I still am.
“Don’t leave me..ever.
Promise.”
“Yeah...promise.”
Silence.
My phone doesn’t ring anymore.
You don’t call me.
I am still trying to be strong.
I am important.
I will still be here
For both of us.
I still smile for us.
I don’t let them get to me.
They were evicted from my head.
The demons still visit but they no longer stay.
I understand now
I Know why you left.
You were the strongest.
YOU WERE THERE FOR ME NOT I FOR YOU!
I still miss you.
I want to call you again
I want to be the one at 3 in the morning
I WANT YOU BACK!
I’m sorry i wasn’t there as much as i should of been.
Why can’t I call you?
I stay strong for you,
You know that right?
You were my best friend.
I was there..
